Fond of sand dunes and salty air, Granville returns from “avin’ it large” in Ibiza, to join me once again in the ScoutCast studio.

The ageing hedonist and I rinse through the regulars – giving our views on the week’s transfer bandwagons, whilst previewing the weekend and giving a shout-out to those managers blazing trails atop the various Fantasy Football Scout leagues.

Inevitably, we also moan about our Gameweek mishaps, discuss the latest development in the United revolution and surf the waves being generated by the Fantasy Premier League price tweaks.

Drop the beats via this link or “roll another fat one” via the handy player below…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Anything urgent that I need to change with my team? I haven't really payed attention to what have been happening since last GW. I got one free transfer and will be gone for most of the tomorrow/weekend so only got today to make changes.

    Bego
    Janmaat-Ivanovic-Clyne
    SIggy-Fabregas-Henderson-Sterling(V)
    Costa-Adebayor(C)-Aguero

    Subs: McCarthy King PvA Wisdom 0 Mil in the bank.

    Still doubting putting Adebayor (C), especially considering that my biggest rival most likely will Captain Costa.

      Good to go though I'd probably play PVA over Clyne

      1. Overlordleo
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm, Sunderland got 0 CS compared to Southamptons 2 so far. Sunderland does however have a better fixture, tough choice 🙁

        1. Method man
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Stick with Clyne, good attacking option

        2. emperikal
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Playing a lowly Burnley side who have only scored once in 4 games though

  2. emperikal
    • 15 Years

    First?

    1. emperikal
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Or not 😉

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        to be fair first is the worst , second is the best 😉

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          And third is the one with the hairy chest.

        2. emperikal
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Haha couldn't agree more

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who scores more over the next 3 GWs?

    Hazard:
    mci / AVL / ARS

    Di Maria (-4):
    lei / WHM / EVE

    All opinions welcome. Reasons why even better. 😛

    1. Overlordleo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I would choose DI Maria over Hazard, but not sure if it is worth it with the -4

    2. emperikal
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Di Maria but would just get him in for free next week

    Here it is

    CMONNN SCOTTTTLANDDDD!!!

  5. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    I will be sad if Scotland votes for independence

    1. JT's Dog
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Not syd?

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          No. I want them to remain within the UK

          1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            If (big if!) it comes to pass just remember how close the UK and Ireland still are, despite Ireland going independent 90ish years ago, and amongst far more fraught circumstances.

            The countries of these islands will always have incredibly close social bonds; that will never change.

            1. Van Dal
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Why big if?

              1. Syd.
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Because most people are expecting a NO vote

          2. Podge
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            If they leave will it still be a UK of the other 3 ?

            1. JT's Dog
                11 years, 5 months ago

      • Garcks
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I'm convinced Di Maria > Fab and Welbz > Pelle is worth a minus 4. Would give me a front three of Costa, Kun and Pelle - they top the charts for shots and goal attempts on a table I just created.

        Good move?

        1. Stykes
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Not so sure about that, to be honest.

          1. Garcks
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Which part, getting rid of Di Maria?

            1. Stykes
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              I just think that it's such a 50-50 whether ADM and Welb or Fab and Pelle will score the most that it's not worth the -4.

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Do it if you're convinced.

        3. Garcks
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          In the last four games:

          Shots
          Costa 14
          Pelle 13
          Kun 11

          Shots inside box
          Costa 13
          Pelle 11
          Kun 9

          There is more, but the above is probably enough?

          1. emperikal
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Makes me rethink my Welbeck > Pelle FT though a lot of people talked me out of it yesterday 😆

            1. Garcks
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Welbeck shots 5, 4 in the box

              1. emperikal
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                The immediate set of fixtures favours Pelle as well but Welbeck is probably a long term buy. Think it'll be last minute if I decide to do it

              2. NATSTER
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Played less?

                1. Garcks
                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Welbeck has played one less than Pelle

              3. Podge
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                how many minutes though ?

                1. Garcks
                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Not sure if I can add that, I'm new to tables. Will check

                2. Garcks
                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Minutes per chance

                  Kun - 18.4 (Amazing)
                  Costa - 24.5
                  Welbz - 28.4
                  Pelle - 29.1

                  Hmmm...

                  1. Podge
                    • 15 Years
                    11 years, 5 months ago

                    Changes things a little

                    1. Garcks
                      • 13 Years
                      11 years, 5 months ago

                      It does doesn't it. Interesting

        4. chrisjdgrady
          • 12 Years

          Nah just wait and do it for free

          1. Garcks
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            A price rise on either Fab or Pelle will price me out of the move, hence my itchy trigger finger

              Fill me in, what's happened?

                • 13 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Baines pass in to Naismith.

                Naismith shot cleared off the line, hits back of keeper for an own goal. In FF terms it's a Naismith assist!

                1. Piggs Boson

                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Was the Baines pass a good one?

                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 5 months ago

                d) A hit

                A or C

                Probably C as Dzeko may not start.

              Asked this Q earlier but still undecided.

              Clyne or Bertrand?

                • 16 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Bert

                Prefer Bertrand. (Marginally) better stats, and cheaper

                Really is a toss up. Have had Clyne from day 1 but if I didn't I might go Bertrand just to save a little money

              Can u see Falcao starting this week?

              or will they stick to the same starting 11?

              1. emperikal
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                I could see another bench appearance for him but won't be too much longer before he cracks the starting 11

                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  would u bench him this week then?

                  would he drop his fellow ducthman? maybe mata?

            5. mojoindojo
              • 12 Years

              Krul (hul) or Mannone(BUR)?

                • 15 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Your caps are wrong, Krul is at home, play him.

                Should be Krul (HUL) but I'd go with Mannone since Burnley have shown they can't put the ball in the net
